And The Next Step

The big day finally arrived. I was as nervous as if I were the one getting married. My daughter was joyful and radiant the whole day and everything went according to the plan.

Now that the happy couple are off to their honeymoon, I realize that I need to do like the astronauts and "get back to earth." When nearly every thought and plan has been heading in one direction, it's hard to think what the next step is now that it's over.

I want to clean out my house, get rid of stuff, and simplify again. I want to do more creative writing, maybe some devotions. I want to get serious about prayer again. And who knows, maybe there is something else for me to do. I know that I'll be spending more time with my grandson, and that's a good thing. He's now at the age where a relationship can grow and I am having so much fun.

My husband and I had a nice quiet little dinner last night. I actually think I can learn to enjoy the quiet. (I know I can't go in my daughter's room right now or I will be sad.) Everything will turn right side up. We will be empty -nesters again. There's always more to see and do with The Lord guiding the way.
